Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday asked the governor of Ramallah Laila Ghannam to order the refurbishing of the mosque that was vandalized earlier Tuesday in a suspected "price tag" attack, Ma'an reported.

Palestinians from the village of al-Muayar, near Ramallah reported that a carpet in the mosque was set fire in the early hour of the morning.

The attackers sprayed graffiti on the walls of the mosque, writing the name of a settlement outpost, "Alei Ayin," which was evacuated by security forces last week.
